What if you were so small, everyone called you "Mouse"? And then what if, one day, you discovered you could do something no one else could do? The young son of a fisherman, Danny is unhappy with his size and his brother's constant teasing—even his father won't let him help on their boat, the Toni Marie. But Danny has a secret; he can lift a thing just by thinking about it. Not much, and not to the side, just a little bit up. What use this strange gift is, he can't imagine. But one day a whale is stranded on their beach, and little Mouse says maybe he can help. Jim LaMarche's tantalizing fantasy for youngsters 4 to 7 is illustrated with realistic, finely drawn watercolors and pastels.
